Lake Region Community Chorus presents “Sing For Joy!”

It is concert
time again for the members of the Lake Region Community Chorus. This
enthusiastic singing group is made up of fifty-five members from fourteen
surrounding towns. They will present a varied program made up of traditional classical
pieces, folk songs, spirituals, and a tribute to Cole Porter called, “Let’s
Fall in Love.” The performances will
be held on May 17, at 7 p.m. and on May 19 at 3 p.m. at the Bridgton Academy’s Twitchell
Chapel in North Bridgton.

The LRCC is
directed by Jan Jukkola, Susan Stockwell and Dan Allen. The group is accompanied
by Carolyn Stanhope and Sara-Sue Schreiber. The program will also include accompaniments
by these very talented musicians, Rusty Wiltjer, percussion and Mark Priola,
electric bass. They will be joined by instrumentalists from the chorus
including Ginny Halligan, flute, Glen Jukkola, violin and Jan Jukkola,
clarinet.

The chorus would
like to thank the Bridgton Academy for all their help and support and providing
them with rehearsal space and a concert venue. They would also like to thank
their enthusiastic audiences and local sponsors. The concert is free but
donations to help cover music and operating costs will be gratefully accepted.
Come and join the Lake Region Community Chorus as they sing into spring. The
concert is sure to be remembered long after the final chords are sounded.
